Separation of Powers in Practice

Campbell (business, U. of California-Berkeley) presents a series of case studies and essays illustrating clashes between the branches of the American federal government, that is, between the three branches of the national government and between the national and state governments. To introduce them, he discusses structural features of the separation of powers. He has served in the US House of Representatives and the California Senate, and has taught law.
